I run both systems with engines from both on the same loop. I have not tried the WIFI where the MTH appears to run most if not all of the Legacy features on a Legacy engine and I utilize both the MTH and Lionel handhelds. I purchase any engine based on the features associated with the engine and not the command system. I started originally with conventional for 45 years, then Kline TMCC. I added DCS because of the "ALL" command where I could start up 3 or 4 consists on the same loop with one handheld and one start command. With 4 consists, I would place the fastest consists followed by slower ones until I got to the slowest. When Legacy came out with the Big Boy, I started purchasing Legacy engines which I would utilize as the 3rd or 4th consist on a loop using the CAB2 remote to sequence with the MTH consists started with the "ALL" command. I found that within the range of speeds I normally run my consists, 10-25 smph, I would have 3 speed steps for each MTH smph. This permitted better synchronization for multiple consists than even two MTH consists where 15 smph could be 14 or 16 smph. As others have said, pick the engine you want and then you know which command system to utilize.
